"This isn't trivial. It's an important matter, alright?" Liam emphasized the significance he placed on this cooperation.
Hanson laughed again. How important is it? The sum stipulated in this contract holds no value for him whatsoever! In addition, I have read the agreement, and he earns nothing.
In response to Hanson's look of disbelief, Liam let out a dry laugh and explained, "Since this is my first time working with Vanie, I know I need to give it my full attention if I want our companies to work together again in the future."
"Are you considering another cooperation?" Hanson's disposition toward him had become hostile. Perhaps, he was treating Liam with a greater degree of hostility today.
"Of course. As businessmen, we all share profits." Liam maintained a smile on his face. He did not appear to be telling a lie, as he did intend to work with Vania in the future.
Hanson snorted, "What do you gain from this cooperation? There is no profit sharing at all."
"I'm here to show my sincerity this time to pave the way for the next time we can work together," Liam quickly responded and fabricated an excuse to deal with him in a matter of moments.
"Then, bring it up the next time. Don't think about long-term collaboration just yet." Hanson sounded cold and distant because he did not want his wife to interact with him too frequently.
From his perspective, it appeared that Liam had ulterior motives toward his wife. As it turned out, he was right. Wasn't Thomas the first man to confess to his wife? Liam was up next, and he knew from experience that he needed to pay closer attention to this man.
As Vania watched the two men bicker, she acted swiftly to diffuse the situation. "That's enough. Let's save that topic for later." These two men are truly naive. If they keep bickering, it's not out of the question that it will escalate into a fistfight.
She shifted the conversation swiftly to their current cooperation. "Let's talk about the product launch issue."
Then, she pulled out her proposal and handed it to Liam. "I've already provided you with a copy of all the marketing strategies that have been prepared. This is an updated backup plan in light of recent events. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me."
Hanson's expression became gloomy almost instantaneously after he heard the words "feel free to contact me." Then, he interrupted, "Darling, what did I just say to you? Have you already forgotten about them?" It appears that the punishment is insufficient to make her heed my warnings. I'll have to come up with another way to make her remember this time.
As she lifted her head, Vania realized she could no longer tolerate her husband's childish behavior. She muttered helplessly, "We are discussing business-related matters, not our personal lives." Since I am the person in charge of the company, I inevitably have frequent collaboration discussions with men. Was he going to stop me from running the company?
Even though he was well aware of her thoughts, he huffed condescendingly. He said, "You may converse with everyone except him." For the time being, he hadn't been able to identify anyone else who was attempting to hit on her. However, Liam was undeniably a threat to him.
Liam sighed in his heart. Isn't it too soon for Hanson to start targeting me? This implies that he is well aware of Thomas' feelings for Vania.
Eventually, Liam compromised, "I'll notify you in advance the next time I come. That should be fine, yeah?" He was better off not offending Hanson the next time.
